American tv host, Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show, which was abruptly suspended last week after his comments on Christian activist Charlie Kirk’s shooting sparked backlash, is set to return on Tuesday.
According to CNN, Disney, parent company of ABC, said the pause was to “avoid inflaming a tense situation” and that talks with Kimmel have since taken place.
The suspension had stirred controversy, with critics accusing the government of pressuring broadcasters. Trump had hailed the removal as “Great News for America,” while even some of his allies, including Senator Ted Cruz and broadcaster Tucker Carlson, raised concerns.
